I''m building a math library and for a few things have used assembler. This library is to be cross platform so how do I (in general) get this to compile under say gcc (thats the most popular linux compiler isn''t it?)? Does gcc use __asm {} to denote a asm block? IT the syntax in this block the same? Should I abandon asm for cross playform code? Many thanks

I know I''m gonna get flamed for this, but....inline assembly in GCC is horrible. Have fun dealing with ''input'', ''output'', and ''modified'' fields. Anyway, the syntax is....

  __asm__("    blah  \n\t    do_stuff \n\t    do_more_stuff \n\t    "    : outputs    : inputs    : modified);  

I would recommend you check out some docs such as these.
